More than 50,000 individuals in Nepal suffer from strokes annually, according to Dr Poudel. Globally, 1 crore 20 lakh (12 million) people are affected by strokes each year, with 50 percent of those cases resulting in death. In Nepal, reports indicate that between 15 and 20 percent of stroke patients lose their lives. Dr Poudel noted that one-third of stroke victims die prematurely, urging the government to pay special attention to prevent the situation from deteriorating.
